Does markitdown support scanned PDF's?

I'm working on a program that rename's documents based on the files metadata, as well as context extracted from PDF's. PyPDF works well enough for Pnative PDF's but struggles with anything scanned. How does this handle scanned documents?

Perhaps PaddleOCR is a better choice, as it can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy in the analysis of scanned PDFs. https://www.paddleocr.ai/latest/en/version3.x/algorithm/PP-StructureV3/PP-StructureV3.html
